This is totally awesome. I would totally love to wear this shirt to physics or math class. Definitely voted for this shirt.

That's wonderful. However, there are some people who don't waste their time memorizing the Standard Model, and would need an explanation. Nerd standards (and I've got nothing against nerds) don't apply to everyone.

I see what your saying, but Shrodinger's cat is a specific cat. An atom is a general thing. If mine got rejected because of the other atom shirt, it would be like rejecting "Physics of a falling cat" because there has already been a cat shirt printed. That's just my opinion, but I think it holds water.

If Sesame Street taught me anything, it's that monsters love chocolate chip cookies. If you leave them on your room at night, I'm almost positive that a monster would immediately approach them and continue eating them until the last crumb were consumed. So really, that's a pretty big window within which the trap can get set off;)

But overall, I think the point of Rube Goldberg machines is to be illogical, overcomplicated and ridiculous so if I achieved that then I reached my goal

That's my favorite part too! All good Rube Goldberg machines should have a chicken forced to lay an egg on cue.

If you berate the artist and tell them that their shirt "sucks" im pretty positive that they won't be taking any advice you give. Positive criticism still mentions the stuff the artist needs to work on, they just do it in a polite respectful manner. so there is no real benifit to being negative. the only difference between negative and positive criticism is that you are mean while saying one and nice while saying the other. and you are far more likely to catch flys with honey than with vinegar.

I guess not everyone's this way... but as an artist, I love negative criticism. I'm strong enough to handle it when someone tells me something in a negative way. It's very helpful. I don't want people side-stepping to try to avoid hurting my feelings. If I was that fragile, I wouldn't try to show people my work. I'd just hang my art on my refrigerator and ask my mother what she thinks.

First, I would like to thank you for your criticism, it is very helpful to me. This has six colours in it (white, black, red, green, blue and skin tone), it's just that since this is my first time entering something into the derby, I had no clue about the print-ready file until I was about to submit it and by separating the colours, it sort of screwed up the flow and definition of them. I also forgot to get rid of the black box in the design.
Once again this is my first entry ever, so of you have any advise for me, I would more than thankful.

Darquis wrote:Neither of those is really close enough to the design here for anyone to cause a fuss. Plus it isn't as though Blizzard has the exclusive rights to designs featuring 8 limbed aquatic creatures.

Agreed, it isn't that close at all. Plus, its not on a shirt, plus they're not carrying planets or anything.

please, im not saying that you have to be coddled but im sure, "your design is a bit boring, maybe trying this, or that. also i dont think your colors work maybe try this or that." is better than, "your t-shirt sucks! i wouldn't wear that in a million years! also you are a talentless hack who only draws easy things, try something harder why dont you!"

so if you prefer someone insulting you rather than giving you straight forward respectful criticism, than yay for you, most people including me, as an artist, would prefer it the other way.

I'm gonna say I don't care if it's positive or negative criticism, as long as it's constructive. Saying you don't like a design is not constructive it's an opinion. If someone really has a problem with a piece explain why, and then offer suggestions on how to make it better. Also I'm inclined not to listen to the opinion of some who state something doesn't work on a shirt when they've submitted the same three clouds in the last five derbies Just sayin'

Oh and walmazan doing a Three Amigo's tee would brighten my day so much. His style would fit it so perfectly.

Ummm...I was just quoting a meme for humor...thought that one was popular enough. I'm old enough to have watched Holy Grail on PBS with a B&W TV in my room when I was a kid.

This shirt GMV and I will stay up until Midnight Friday morning to get one.

I submitted 5 different submissions this derby! Mind you! )< And I apologized for the clouds already. Also, I complimented this shirt, and stated my opinion. Thanks for the sass though.
